Next Tuesday afternoon during school we will be celebrating our Distinguished Award with the staff and students. We are asking two things from students/families.
- Each classroom will create a CANDY SALAD. Please bring a small bag of candy for each student! Prek-6th bring as soon as possible! 7-12th Grade can bring on Tuesday. We will pour all the candy in a bowl and enjoy with the afternoon activities. (Example of Size in picture)
-7-12th grade ONLY please bring family-friendly group board games. Preferrable games for multiple players. Please write your name on each box and bring to MaryB office before Tuesday. I'll let you know when we have enough.
Thank you again for your help in making a fun afternoon for the students/staff before Thanksgiving break. If questions or concerns, please contact Mary.Beyer@k12.sd.us.
